Did you install lilo? Your BIOS shouldn't skip the disk if a boot loader was installed and your boot order is correct. On Dec 1, 2011, at 8:24 AM, samwyse <samwyse@gmail.com> wrote:
I only recently discovered Crux, while looking for a small distro to use as the basis of a virtual appliance. I downloaded the ISO, created a VM, and followed the directions in the handbook to install. For some crazy reason, I decided to give JFS a try as my root file system. Unfortunately, my disk won't boot. I can boot from the ISO and mount the disk just fine, but the VM's Phoenix BIOS skips over the disk and goes straight to PXE.
Here's my lilo.conf: # # /etc/lilo.conf: lilo(8) configuration, see lilo.conf(5) #
lba32 install=text boot=/dev/sda image=/boot/vmlinuz label=CRUX root=/dev/sda1 read-only append="quiet"

Here's my fstab: # # /etc/fstab: static file system information # # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
